Access professional development, publications, guidelines and resources designed especially for you.
Guidelines are indispensable tools for empowering you to deliver top-notch patient care. Members and employees of AAHA-accredited hospitals get early access to new and updated guidelines.
Veterinary teams want to be able to help every pet that comes through the door, but they’re often constrained by factors out of their control. What if practices could expand their offerings by collaborating with nonprofit organizations and the community beyond their walls?
Fluid therapy is a mainstay of veterinary practice, from prescribing subcutaneous fluids for the feline kidney disease patient, to supporting the dehydrated parvovirus-positive pup, to treating the Addisonian dog in crisis, to administering fluids during anesthesia. Determining which type of fluids to select, how much to administer, and for how long can be like navigating through choppy waters.
Treating allergic skin diseases in pets is not one-size-fits-all, and a multimodal approach often yields the best results.
AAHA cares about simplifying the journey towards excellence for all veterinary practices. That’s why many of our evidence-based resources are free.

What do you do when a service dog is crippled by fear and can’t do her job? That scenario played out in a recent case report in the Journal of the American Animal Hospital Association (JAAHA).
Emergency & Critical Care
Emergency & Critical Care
With shortages of veterinary professionals across the country, emergency care clinics in some areas are few and far between. But the demand is there, so some practices are seeking alternatives to 24/7 emergency clinics that can still serve pet owners in dire straits without overburdening already short-staffed practices.
End-of-Life Care
End-of-Life Care
With only so many hours in already packed clinical days, adding telehealth, telemedicine, and/or at-home patient telemetry feels daunting. It isn’t that practitioners don’t see the value of virtual appointments or increased patient data for certain cases. It’s more about feeling sketchy about somehow restructuring practitioners’ time to include meaningful and effective virtual care to clients and their pets. So where is it all going?

Community care
The dominant practice model in veterinary medicine requires out-of-pocket payment for services, which limits care access to those clients who can afford it. At the same time, as even more people are seeking healthcare for their pets, the field of veterinary medicine is losing professionals at an unsustainable rate. It’s clear that change is needed. That’s why family-centered healthcare is the future of vet med.

Urinalysis and urine culture are so common in veterinary practices that they could be declared—dare we say—mainstream. But what is the best way to collect the urine sample?
